\"Seeing as nobody\'s going outside at the moment, it would be pretty great to have an entire version of Earth to explore in a video game, right?\
\
Enter PippenFTS, a YouTuber who claims to have made a full-scale version of the Earth in Minecraft for the very first time. It\'s been made possible through the use of two mods, Terra 1-to-1 and Cubic Chunks. As explained by PippenFTS, Minecraft normally has a height limit of 255m, which would have made full-scale Earth terrain impossible. Using Cubic Chunks \"changes the shape of Minecraft chunks to 16x16x16 cube, giving you infinite build depth in both vertical directions\".\
\
\"With the Cubic Chunks mod breaking Minecraft\'s vertical limitations, we can now experience the Earth in Minecraft, just as it is, with no downscaling of any kind.\"\
\
The next stage is applying the Terra 1-1 mod, which takes information from geographical data archives (such as Google Maps) and converts it into Minecraft blocks. The video shows a number of vast landmarks realised in Minecraft, such as Mount Everest, the Grand Canyon, and Half Dome from Yosemite National Park in the US.\"\
